If pro-impeachment Rep. Peter Meijer (R) loses his primary, #MI03 would rocket to the top of Dems’ takeover target list. — PolitiTweet.org

Breaking: the PA Supreme Court issues a stay to consider Dems' request to intervene as an ardently pro-Trump judge was set to select a congressional map. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

How do you end up ridiculous w/ shapes like this? - #NY07 Velazquez wants both Bushwick and Red Hook - #NY10 Nadler wants both the Upper West Side and Borough Park - Dems want to attach Park Slope to Staten Island #NY11 No real other way to achieve it. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Also, if you throw Bay Ridge (which Rose represented before) in w/ Staten Island, it's more like 63%-37%. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Fact: 52% of the Biden voters in the Dem-proposed #NY11 still live on Staten Island, just 48% Brooklyn. Not bad primary math for Max Rose (D). — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

This theory looking more accurate by the hour. — PolitiTweet.org

Unlike Dems' Illinois gerrymander, which was thrown together pretty sloppily at the last minute, I can only find a few isolated places where this NY gerrymander "strands" Dem votes in GOP districts - and even then, we're talking fractions of points. It's a brutal map for Rs. — PolitiTweet.org

Breaking: Rep. Lee Zeldin's (R) open Suffolk County #NY01 moves from Trump +4 to Biden +11, creating an exceptional Dem pickup opportunity. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

BREAKING: here is NY Dems' full congressional proposal, courtesy of @zach_solomon1. This is a 22D-4R gerrymander - and a pretty effective one. https://t.co/QleEKPMJy8 https://t.co/yd7Iqx6DPh — PolitiTweet.org

RT @ECaliberSeven: Regarding the “Tenney carpetbags to NY-23” idea, worth noting the new NY-23 contains VERY little of her current district… — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Thanks a lot NY. Deciphering these new maps without an actual map takes about as long as it takes to count NY's absentee ballots. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

And I thought I took redistricting seriously... — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Breaking: NY Dems' map adds Park Slope, Gowanus & Sunset Park to Staten Island's #NY11, moving Rep. Nicole Malliotakis's (R) district from Trump +11 to Biden +9 (!). — PolitiTweet.org

Breaking: this NY Dem map effectively sacks #NY22 Rep. Claudia Tenney (R), while preserving a safe red Southern Tier #NY23 open seat for a GOP successor to retiring Rep. Tom Reed (R). — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Also interesting: Rep. Mondaire Jones's (D) #NY17 moves from Biden +20 to Biden +13 by meandering north all the way to Sullivan Co. (Catskills). Will be interesting to see if Rs make a run at him this year. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Interesting: DCCC chair Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney's (D) #NY18 moves from Biden +5 to Biden +8 by picking up liberal Peekskill. It's a decent improvement for him, but not as wave-proof as I would've expected. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

The only Upstate Dem incumbent who appears to have sacrificed blue turf is #NY20 Rep. Paul Tonko (D), who is giving up some Albany suburbs (including Delmar) to help move #NY19 Rep. Antonio Delgado (D) from Biden +1.5 to Biden +9.8. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Breaking: Dems add Ithaca to retiring Syracuse Rep. John Katko's (R) #NY24, moving it from Biden +9 to Biden +18. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Breaking: looks like NY Dems are proposing a 22D-4R map, a bit less aggressive gerrymander than the 23D-3R DCCC/Marc Elias had pushed for, but likely more secure in a "red wave." — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Kudos to @WhaleBallot, who's live-drawing NY Dems' map block by block. They certainly didn't make it easy. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Breaking: as expected, #NY21 Rep. Elise Stefanik (R) gets a safe seat, but Dems have gerrymandered her seat into a GOP vote sink to make other Upstate seats bluer. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Breaking: Rep. Antonio Delgado's (D) #NY19 will pick up Binghamton & Utica, moving from Biden +1.5 to a double digit Biden seat. Still waiting on an actual map/more details. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Sorry, five: -Do FL Republicans adopt a plan closer to DeSantis’s or the FL Senate’s? — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

The four biggest remaining redistricting unknowns: - How aggressive is the NY Dem map? - Does PA Supreme Court intervene vs. a GOP-friendly map? - Do GOP maps in NC/OH get replaced by more neutral plans? - Does SCOTUS greenlight a second Black seat in AL (and maybe LA/SC)? — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

A theory I'm hearing a lot from NY/DC sources: a reason the DCCC chair & Marc Elias have publicly expressed support for a contorted 23D-3R gerrymander is to make whatever map comes out of Albany look more modest by comparison - a ploy to better survive a court challenge. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Absolutely huge day in redistricting today: a PA Commonwealth Court is slated to select a congressional map (Dems hope it'll be appealed to PA Supreme Court) and NY Dems will unveil perhaps the most consequential gerrymander of the 2022 cycle. — PolitiTweet.org
